Luke 17:1-19
1One day Jesus said to his disciples, “There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!2It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.3So watch yourselves!
“If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive.4Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”
Luke 17:3 Greek If your brother.
5The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.”
6The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you!
7“When a servant comes in from plowing or taking care of sheep, does his master say, ‘Come in and eat with me’?8No, he says, ‘Prepare my meal, put on your apron, and serve me while I eat. Then you can eat later.’9And does the master thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? Of course not.10In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’”
Ten Healed of Leprosy
11As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, he reached the border between Galilee and Samaria. 12As he entered a village there, ten men with leprosy stood at a distance, 13crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.
Luke 17:14 See Lev 14:2-32.
15One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!” 16He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.
17Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?18Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”19And Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you.”
Luke 17:19 Or Your faith has saved you.
